Old tree line in Cumbria, One of my favourite place to walk, recharge the batteries and most importantly take some pictures.
Located at the Bristlecone Pine trail in Great Basin National Park, Nevada are the living and dead bristlecone pines that have nestled in a particular spot on Wheeler Park. This particular Bristlecone was approximately 2000 years old before it died. During that time, wind, rain, and snow twisted the base and top of this ancient pine tree. Hence the name, "Twisted."

How Can I Keep From Singing?
My life flows on in endless song;
Above earth’s lamentation
I hear the sweet though far off hymn
That hails a new creation:
Through all the tumult and the strife
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?

Never restored or altered, and in basically the same condition as when it was built in the 1840's. I would imagine the tin roof replaced an earlier cedar or cypress shake roof in the later 19th century.

This was a great place for a brake. For sitting down and for doing nothing. Only thinking, dreaming, listening to the wonderful nature around. Can you imagine?

Platano del Piccioni (altrimenti detto Albero del Piccioni). E' l'albero più grande delle Marche. Il nome gli deriva dal fatto che secondo le dicerie popolari al tempo dell'annessione delle Marche al Regno d'Italia (1808, per volontà di Napoleone) nel suo tronco cavo vi si nascose il brigante Giovanni Piccioni, capo dei rivoltosi che avversavano tale decisione.
Io sono proprio di fianco all'albero.

Platano (plane tree) del Piccioni (otherwise known as Tree of Piccioni). This is the largest tree of the Marche region. This name is due to the fact that according to popular hearsays at the time of annexation of the Marche region to the Italian Kingdom X(1808, by Napoleon's wills), in his hollow trunk was hiding the bandit Giovanni Piccioni, chief of the rebels which were opposing to this decision.
I am just beside the tree.
Below I report size and age of this monumental tree.

A much loved Monterey Cypress tree had to be cut down for health and safety reasons but, rather than waste the iconic tree, Dublin City Council commissioned the UK tree sculptor Tommy Craggs to create a work of art from the remaining tree stump.
Chainsaw sculptor Tommy Craggs recycles fallen trees or trees felled for tree management reasons. Some of his works can be purchased but others are permanent installations carved from stumps. Tommy’s work made the news in 2012 when members of the public reported that a "guerrilla sculptor" had carved three stumps in a forest in the UK. They were, in fact, commissioned sculptures created by Tommy Craggs.
The piece shown in my photographs was inspired by the wildlife found in the nature reserve on the nearby Bull Island and in St. Anne’s Public Park.

Dublin City - Official Policy For Removal of Trees - Trees are removed only when necessary as a last resort.
The criteria for tree removal are:
1 The tree is dead, dying or is considered hazardous due to its poor structural or biological condition,. Hazardous conditions may exist above and/or below ground and may include significant root, trunk or crown decay, split trunks and crotches, and large dead limbs.
2 The tree has declined beyond the point of recovery and is no longer meeting the functional or aesthetic requirements of a street tree. Typically, a tree with 30 percent or less of its foliage remaining would meet this criterion.
3 Fatally diseased trees (eg. Ash dieback, Fireblight Disease) may be removed before they reach the primary threshold in order to prevent the spread of disease to healthy trees.
4 To allow space for development of nearby trees that may be more desirable for retention
5 To allow space for new planting
6 To make way for any approved engineering or building works when unavoidable construction work will immediately compromise the stability or viability of the tree.
7 Tree proven to be causing significant structural damage that cannot be reasonably addressed by an alternative solution and proactive tree management has had no mitigating effect.
8 To abate actionable nuisance
9 The trunk of the tree is within 2m of a public lighting column and the long term viability of the tree if retained in its location would be compromised by a requirement for ongoing maintenance in order to maintain the effectiveness of the adjoining street light.
If a site where a tree was removed is suitable to support a new tree, the site may be replanted with a suitable tree species. Because the stump has to be placed on a stump removal list and sufficient time needs to elapse to allow breakdown of residual underground root material, the
process from removal to replanting may take up to 3-5 years. Replacement tree planting will only take place during the dormant season.
The "Miracle Beech Tree" (Wunderbuche) in Selm/Bork, NRW, Germany at the end of Winter 2016/17 (March 10, 2017). Frost is gone and there is a hue of green in the forest.
Have you ever had that eerie feeling that you are being observed without any direct evidence of there being anyone or anything there?
In today's Electronic Age, it is highly likely that you are being observed.

A brief walk in the woods one day brought me to this amazing old tree. There was bits and pieces of new life still attached but I wondered how many like me had passed this way, passed this tree. Near St.John's, NL.
